Clicking sound on boot

I have a system which goes into an unusual cycle when its trying to load windows. It boots up in bios (with beep), goes through scandisk, then attempts to load windows.

Shortly after this point it makes a clicking sound, and the HDD light flashes relative to the clicking sound. Last week the power supply on the system went bad so changed that out and worked well for that week.

Additional info on the system: its rather barebones, just MB with floppy drive, and ethernet.
